Platinum Support

At Sonny Merryman Inc., our focus is our customer and their satisfaction with the products and service we provide. For more than 50 years, we have been implementing creative ways to enhance our systems to provide you with the highest quality buses, swift service, and low vehicle life-cycle costs. Because of our efforts we have been recognized as a Thomas Built Bus Platinum Support Dealer.

About Platinum Support

The Platinum Support program was instituted by Thomas Built Buses and focuses on implementing lean concepts to continuously improve the customer experience. The program ignites a culture change within the dealership to maximize customer satisfaction while encouraging efficient operations. To become certified as a Platinum Support provider, the dealer must meet 123 individual criteria in 24 areas. These standards are scored by an independent third party and sustained by weekly internal audits. Each year, dealers must conduct and pass an external recertification audit to maintain their certification.

Your Feedback Matters

Let us hear from you. Platinum Service means that we care about your experience more than the average dealer. We want to hear from you before, during, and after service. Whether you are a new customer or someone we see on a regular basis, your words are the most important measures for how we will continue to improve.
